PALANCA SINGAPORE against its type
Built in 2013, it is 3 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 10,830 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 40 other vessels here, one of them an oil tanker. Its MRV returns name it PALANCA SINGAPORE for 2018 and THE CHIEF for 2022–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 11,464 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 45% above the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 210.7 kg CO₂, 48% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 6,075 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 5.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (11,464 t) and the lowest 2022 (3,458 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2018 to 98 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,421 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 32.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 356,120,845 tonne-miles over 54,420 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 62.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 60.7% while distance sailed rose 48.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
